There would be at least 3.5mm difference relative to a Shimano road group, or to a stock road Potenza crankset (I think Potenza should have a disc optimized crankset with +2.5mm or so chainline). (Note: this doesn't jive with reports that the GRX groups have their chainline offset +2.5mm from Shimano's road stuff!?)
Either way, I am skeptical that the chainline is the issue. Maybe a chain catcher? I just threw one K-Edge in the trash as it never really caught a dropped chain, but that one was designed during the 10s era, so a newer one might work better. Clutch RD would require moving off Campy at this point. |
I have a chain catcher, its not the chain that is dropping, its sucking from under the crank that is the problem :/
And yes I don't think the chain line explanation is correct but you know, they have to have a reason for why some people are having problems. I also know they are not going to be like, hey, our bad, here is a new frame but I did tell em they should be posting this information on the website because there are a lot of people on 2x and the OPEN and even if 10% of people are having problems that is too much and should be out int he world. I will now be out another $500 on an already expensive as hell frame set. Not to mention I have not been ridding this bike as much as I should/want. I bought it for events like D2R2 and this year I took my Cielo which ripped through it, no complains, not chain sucking, no nothing.
